The thing that impresses me about Payton and his staff...

Everything about this coaching staff impresses me. Was there any reason to believe that this offensive line, with new starters at every position, would protect Brees this well? Was there any reason to believe that this defense would play this well? How about the rookies? Did anyone expect Harper, Evans, Colston above all and now Streif to play at this level? The playcalling has been magnificent most of the time. And my goodness, they signed the right free agent quarterback, didn't they? I said it before: Sean Payton may be the next great coach in the NFL.
